First published as Firing Line.
October, 1940. Bombs are falling on Stratford when air-raid warden
Sylvia Parks sees a house with a shining light, in clear breach of the
city's strict blackout rules. With no answer at the door she manages to
break in, only to discover the body of a young woman, strangled to death
with a stocking. For Detective Inspector John Jago, the scene brings
back memories of the gruesome Soho
Strangler, who murdered four women a few years ago but has never been
caught - could there be a connection?
